Dónall Dempsey Poems

Crossing the border
of your death

I return
...

I wrote you
a 100,000 trees worth of love.

The trees eager
...

Your lies
sharp as knives.

You harm my heart.
...

butterfly
alights on
lactating nipple
...

We look at ourselves
reflected in the gym’s glass door

all tousled curls
...

He remembers her
a little girl

changing her
...

Fascinated with atlases

the where of how
places be
...

YOUR LOVE IS THE WIND

Your love
is the wind
...

I follow the road
of my father’s voice

journey with him
...

We argue
over something

we should not
...
